caregiver who answers your random call, knowing something is wrong. comforting you through the stress of all that is going on while they’re on their way over.
caregiver who knows you want to help during the chaos so they give you simple jobs, like hold the light or go grab this tool, and each time you do they praise you so sweetly.
caregiver who makes sure you have the space to drop as small as you need, being right there for you while they handle everything else. simply kissing your forehead anytime your brows furrow in concern. right now you’re too little to be worrying about these things, so let them handle it.

ℱ ͡ ᭡ headcanons╱thoughts .
── deb is primarily an older sister caregiver as opposed to a parental one; this is something she is very particular about.
╱ she doesn't care much about the sister part, perfectly content to be
referred to as a sibling or brother as well, but she hates being put in an
explicitly parental role, though if you slip up she'll try and make a joke
about how you must think she's "so freaking old!"
╱ given her upbringing, being parentified is difficult for deb, who has a
complicated relationship to his own parents. however, deb loves when you
call him "sis", "bubba" or debs, playfully crowing with delight whenever
dexter is around as if to show him who's boss.
╱ big sister deb who calls you silly nicknames like "stinker" and "squirt",
always making silly exaggerated faces to keep you entertained. she's
always making you laugh out loud, perking up whenever she hears your
boisterous guffaw you're never quite able to contain.
╱ big sister deb who is very playful, not much one for rules. of course as a
police officer she takes your safety very seriously, sometimes buffing up
her role in the force before her promotion, and being careful not to discuss
ongoing cases with you in your vulnerable state. she's not afraid to talk
crap about his brother, or tell stories where she's "totally badass," swearing
they're true.
╱ as much as she may talk shit, deb is fiercely loyal both to you and to dex.
as much as her mouth tends to get her in trouble, she's not afraid to stand
up for you even if it earns him a swat on the wrist.
╱ big sister deb who is very impulsive, always down for a good time. if you
wake up with a hankering for ice cream, you're getting ice cream as deb
eagerly pokes at you. "who's the best bubba ever?" he'll coax with a
chuckle, then feign humility when you crow his name as she takes a lick
from your cone.
╱ big sister deb who has quite the potty mouth, forgetting to watch herself
before declaring the person who shoved past you to be a "stupid shit" or
the movie you showed him to be "fuckin' intense!" when she remembers
she'll slap a hand over his mouth, blushing and waiting for you to tease
him. she tries to tell you not to curse, but finds it hard not to snicker when
you find yourself mimicking his speech later.
╱ big sister deb who loves to play with you, always immersing herself
eagerly in play. whether its a board game, imaginative game, or anything
involving your impressive toy collection, deb always has ideas for how the
game can work when you run out of them yourself.
╱ big sister deb who loves to spoil you whenever money allows. she's
constantly buying trinkets that remind her of you, finding it hard to say no
when you beg or use your puppy eyes on him in a store. she hates saying
no, not wanting to seem like she doesn't care. if its really not in the
budget, she may bring dexter along to give it to you straight.
── deb is also a puppy caregiver, viewing you as his human charge while in his puppyspace. she tends to regress to puppyspace when feeling intense emotions, though she's only able to act as a carer when these emotions are more positive, otherwise tending to regress as a trauma response and thus requiring more attention herself.
╱ she loves to keep you active, oftentimes taking you for walks or bringing
his ball to you to play fetch. an eager deb is always happy to chase you or
let you chase him as well, the two of you often collapsing into the grass
exhausted after an especially intense game.
╱ if you're feeling fussy, deb will lay with you to calm you down, encouraging
you to pet him, whining when she can tell you're not doing well and
wordlessly bringing you a favorite plush or a pacifier, looking up at you
with big hopeful eyes. she can be squirmy but will lick you to cheer you up
as well!
╱ puppy deb still loves to play with you! she's fond of playing tug of war and
playfighting, though she lets you dress him up and decorate his collar on
calmer days or when you're feeling too young for these rougher activities.
╱ puppy carer deb who is very protective of you, despite being largely
nonspeaking in his regression. she can be very loud, barking and growling
at anything she perceives to be a threat to you. she'll put his body
between you and the threat, unafraid of getting hurt if it means you'll be
safe.
╱ of course being only a puppy, she makes mistakes sometimes and you
can't help but giggle when she tries to "protect" you from a squirrel.
╱ puppy carer deb who loves to watch over you when you take naps,
guarding your room and oftentimes stretching out at your feet, watching
you dream. if you have a nightmare, she's quick to wake you up with gentle
licks, grounding you with his gentle presence.
╱ puppy carer deb who is very attentive, always by your side. she's very vocal
when you babble to him, arfing and yipping in response so you know she's
listening and is invested in what may seem to others to be a whole lot of
nonsense.
╱ she tends to get anxious when you're out of sight for too long, padding
around the house nervously when you're out without telling him, and
tending to follow you to wait outside the door when you're changing or
using the bathroom.
╱ while normally too afraid to come across overbearing, when puppy
regressed, deb views you as her responsibility, and becomes clingier in her
regression.

ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ struggles a lot in the beginning of your relationship, feels out of his depth providing care for someone in a way he hasn’t in years, his memories of cole had always been something he’d tried to bottle up so it takes a while for him to find his footing and grow past the guilt that comes with taking on a fatherly role in someone else’s life.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🚓 ◠ ִ he’s not the most physically affectionate but he makes attempts at it, lifts his arm onto the back of the sunken in couch and gives you the wordless option to sit closely to him or pats the back of your head whenever he’s passing by.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ gruff and awkward, doesn’t always say the right thing but tries his best. very much the silent dad who sits by his kid whenever they’re upset, not quite sure what to say to comfort but wanting to be there if needed.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🚓 ◠ ִ a little continuation on the last point.. he’s quite blunt and to the point in his words if he does have anything to say and although this might sound like a bad thing to most, it’s really not. if he’s trying to comfort he might trip over his words a bit but what he says is sincere n simple..
⟶ “don’t worry about it kid, was due for a new one anyway.” or “it’s alright, easy fix, no need t’get worked up, see?”
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ grocery store runs are a staple with hank.. he walks silently along the isles with you, lets you choose a few of the foods for the week like maybe a box of macaroni and cheese or whatever small snacks you enjoy. he tries to stick to whatever health plan connor’s suggested he should start up for the millionth time.. but he never really fully succeeds unless connor himself is there.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🚓 ◠ ִ toy wise, i think there’s a few things he wouldn’t want to buy but would end up purchasing with a bit of a begging. for one, anything with a voice box — finds it repetitive and it can be enough to give him a headache at times but he powers through! another thing would be legos, he likes to walk around the house barefoot and will curse worse than a sailor if he ever steps on them.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ movie nights are also big in the household, just sitting back on the couch and watching tv together before bed. sumo naps comfortably at your feet, lazily sprawled out with his head atop hanks feet. usually ends up with everyone falling asleep there and waking up with a mild crick in their neck.
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🚓 ◠ ִ things you might find in his house: blankets he’s given up to sumo because they’ve been overrun with dog hair, that yahoo chocolate ノ strawberry milk mix for late night snacking, old band tees bundled up in the back of his dresser drawers, shoes placed crookedly by doorways, random weird trinkets he’s not even sure how he came into possession of

⋱ ― ♱ . THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR AS A REGRESSOR ♱
sooooo peckish. constant snacking and nibbling. they're a growing baby! they need their nommies
they love making things with construction paper
colorful, kidcore clothes. lots of colors and patches and designs
velcro shoes, probably sketchers? or maybe loafers
outdoorsy kid for sure. sitting under trees, swinging at the park
regressed nicknames include 'buggie', 'little bug', and 'sweetpea'. i like to think when they're not regressed their nicknames are more butterfly leaning
they love felt toys
obviously a bug regressor but i also see toddler regressor and kid regressor too
draws on the walls with crayons and marks and paints
fruit tastes better if there's little shapes and faces carved into it
they prefer squishy stim toys over more firm ones
will drag you to parks to do scavenger hunts and geocaching
every halloween they choose a different food to dress as
they use those teethers and pacifiers that look like berries
haii! i saw ur post and i was wundering if i could request regressor buddies van & nat headcanons or a moodboard? no worries if not! i hope you have a great 5 day weekend! >_<
⋆˙⟡ van nat regressor buddies moodboard

ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ twitches his nose when he’s confused or being all playful, tilts his head slightly with every question like “how was your day baby?” whenever you’ve come home from work or “c’mon now what’s that s’pposed to mean, huh?” when he’s teasing you after you’ve made a joke
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🥕 ◠ ִ soft and stern, never raises his voice — if anything his voice dips lower when he’s scolding, explains carefully what’s been done wrong and why it shouldn’t be done again without degrading or belittling
ㅤㅤ ݁ 🐾 ◠ ִ cuddle bunny jack, big on physical touch . . happy to let himself become a personal pillow with a head resting on his chest or arms latched around his bicep, its typical for him to lean into the touch and nuzzle closer in a quiet search of some warm affection
